A message from the CCAAA Secretary General
Dear Colleagues,
World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAVH), 27 October 2013: “Saving our Heritage for the Next Generation”
This year the WDAVH website will be hosted by IASA. We recommend that your organisation provides a link to the site:www.iasa-web.org/world-day-audiovisual-heritage
IASA will post any relevant content received on the site so please encourage your organisations’ members to share how they plan to mark this important occasion with the audiovisual archiving community. It would be helpful if each CCAAA member organisation appointed one person to liaise with IASA and send texts, photos, web and email links, and even copyright-cleared sound and video clips celebrating the day, to rranft@iasa-web.org
Here are some guidelines for the submission of content:
- text and photos should be in soft copy not just submit a URL of existing website
- Photos should be accompanied with captions and already reduced to web resolution
- In case of non-English contributions, submit the screengrab of the foreign language website.
Links to the following websites from members’ websites would also be appropriate:
- celebrations for the 20th anniversary of the Memory of the World Programme on UNESCO’s website (http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/events/calend… )
- Archives at Risk programme on the CCAAA site
Best regards
Catherine Lacken
CCAAA Secretary General
